GLP-1 Relaxes Rat Coronary Arteries by Enhancing ATP-Sensitive Potassium Channel Currents by Qian-Feng Xiong, Shao-Hua Fan, Xue-Wen Li, Yu Niu, Jing Wang, Xin Zhang, Yi-Fan Chen, Ya-Wei Shi, Li-Hui Zhang

“…Here, we report that GLP-1 inhibits depolarization- or thromboxane receptor agonist (U46619)-induced RCA contraction in a dosage-dependent manner. Vasorelaxation was attenuated by denuding the endothelium, L-NAME (nitric oxide synthase inhibitor), and glyburide (KATP channel blocker) but was not affected by indomethacin (cyclooxygenase inhibitor), iberiotoxin [Ca2+-activated K+ channel (KCa) blocker], or 4-aminopyridine (KV channel blocker). …”
